Umm, no, they aren't - at least not in the way the term is used in scientific subjects.
Many articles are never reviewed in any systematic manner; in fact, that is the overwhelming majority of our articles. Those that are formally reviewed are reviewed in the context of meeting *Wikipedia* standards: formatting, manual of style, reliable sources as references (as opposed to, say, blogs). It doesn't contain most of the elements of peer review seen for scientific papers.

A great model that could be emulated by many of us across other disciplines too.
